Covid-19

Living with dementia is a profoundly challenging experience for individuals and their loved ones. Opting for care at home can significantly alleviate these challenges, offering a beacon of support and comfort. Here are key benefits of this compassionate choice:</p>
<p>Familiar Environment: Staying at home allows individuals with dementia to remain in a familiar setting, reducing confusion and agitation. Familiar surroundings can help in retaining memories and provide a sense of security and comfort.</p>
<p>Personalized Care: Home care is inherently personalized, tailored to the unique needs, preferences, and routines of the individual. This customized approach ensures that care is as effective and comforting as possible, catering directly to the specific requirements of someone living with Alzheimer's or dementia.</p>
<p>Continuous Support and Companionship: Home care provides consistent companionship, critical for mitigating feelings of loneliness and isolation. Caregivers can become trusted friends, offering emotional support and engaging in meaningful activities that stimulate cognitive functions and social interaction.</p>
<p>Flexibility and Adaptability: As dementia progresses, needs change. Care at home offers the flexibility to adjust care plans on an as-needed basis, ensuring the level of care provided evolves in tandem with the individual's condition.</p>
<p>Support for Families: Beyond the direct benefits to the individual, home care eases the emotional and logistical burdens on families. Knowing a loved one is receiving compassionate, professional care at home offers peace of mind and allows families to focus on spending quality time together rather than the stresses of caregiving.</p>
<p>Care at home for dementia sufferers underscores the importance of compassion, comfort, and personalized support, making a profound difference in the lives of those navigating the complexities of dementia.

Covid – 19

Covid-19 has caused a huge disruption to everyone’s lives and during this unprecedented times we have put in a number of processes and procedures to minimise the risk to our clients and staff.

To reduce cross contamination we have put Personal Protection (PPE) supplies in to every client’s house. This ensures that Covid-19 does not have the ability to move from one house to another house.

Each staff member also has their own PPE that they can use when out and about. They must all wear masks and PPE when working within close proximity of their clients.

Prior to Covid-19, we had split the team into three geographic areas. This reduces the risk of cross contamination and would allow us to “lock down” an area should a client or stay member test positive.

We review the government guidance on a regular basis and communicate any changes to the team to ensure that they are following the latest guidance on Infection control and use of PPE.
